Michael Keller is a pastor, theologian, and author whose work is at the intersection of historic Christianity and contemporary cultural questions. He is the founding Senior Pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church Lincoln Square in Manhattan, where he leads a community of professionals who engage in faith in one of the most secular cities in the world.

His book, The Stories We Live By: How the Gospel Counters and Completes What Our Culture Tells Us (Zondervan, September 2026), co-authored with his father Timothy Keller, examines the seven dominant narratives shaping modern life—identity, freedom, happiness, power, progress, science, and justice—and makes a case that the Christian gospel doesn't reject what's true in these stories but fulfills what they reach for and can't deliver. His other book, Talking to Kids About Hard Things: Honest Conversations When Life Gets Complicated, co-authored with Rebekah Hannah, offers parents a way to talk to their kids that is neither fearful nor passive, but rooted in empathy and curiosity.

Michael holds a PhD from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, an MDiv and ThM from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and serves as a Council member of The Gospel Coalition and a fellow of the Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics.

Before planting Redeemer Lincoln Square in 2017, Michael pastored in both London and Boston and worked in campus ministry for 7 years. Through these experiences, he learned firsthand how to present a compelling, intellectually rigorous Christianity to skeptical, educated audiences. His preaching and writing are shaped by a conviction that the Christian faith doesn't ask you to stop thinking—it invites you to think more deeply about everything.

Michael lives in Manhattan with his wife and two daughters. Follow him on Amazon to get notified about new releases, including The Stories We Live By and his upcoming book on talking to children about hard things.
